10th of November 2015 · tags:

Trumpet lecturer at the Academy Jakob Buchanan was awarded with Jazznytprisen 2015 this Sunday at the final of three performances of his "Requiem" for jazz orchestra, choir and soloists. He is the fourth recipient of the prize, which was established by the Danish jazz blog Jazznyt.com.

The award goes to an artist "who blows away the borders of jazz. An artist based in jazz who moves freely around the world of music. An artist who makes jazz coming out beyond where jazz usually does. An artist not afraid of challenging the listeners and giving them great experiences."
